The People's Parliament has once again highlighted the online petition to the King regarding the appointment and promotion of judges pending the setting up of the Judicial Appointments Commission. Why is this so important?

For two simple facts:

1.That ours is a Judiciary that is tainted. And one that still has a long way to go to regain its former dignity;

2. Our Police Force has been implicated by their own failure to act impartially by none other than a Royal Commission.

So how can we expect Raja Petra to have a fair investigation and an impartial trial? This is Haris Ibrahim's argument. One I think we can all vouch as correct. The least we can do then is to sign the petition ASAP so that it can be presented to the Yang DiPertuan Agong on the 15th of September as planned.
